CWN Editor's Note: In an October 24 address to the Vatican College of Penitentiaries, Pope Francis said: “Always forgive everything, because we are here to forgive.”
As a practical matter, the Pontiff encouraged confessors to listen carefully to penitents. “The less you talk, the better,” he said. “Just listen, console, and forgive.”
